These photos came for my parents' belongings, which I went through after they were both gone, and I had lost the chance to ask them who these people were. Most are probably related to the Haloupeks or Posekanys, but some may also be friends and neighbors. If you can help identify any of them, please contact me at haloupek at gmail dot com.

Who is this gentleman? Looks like a Soenke.
This may be one of my dad's Army buddies.
Two old men. Someone wrote "My brother Frank [illegible] 7 July 1953" on the back.

Girl with doll. Pat Thom said it's Adele (Krueger) Riha.

I guess this is a gas station/convenience store. One of these cool guys probably works here, and the other is getting gas for his Model A. The one with the letter jacket has steam coming out of the top of his head!
Says "Jane" on the back
Girl standing in front of a sign for a jewelry store.
Two ladies with purses, and a man with a tie.
I think this trellis was in the backyard at the Haloupek house in Belle Plaine, but the man doesn't look like Grandpa Haloupek. Maybe a neighbor? Or maybe it's Great-Grandpa Chaloupek!
Man with safari hat. Is that a 1936-ish Chevy?
Man with two dogs.
Workers at a blacksmith shop, harness shop, or something. Who can tell me?
Couple with flowers.
Couple standing on bear rug. I thought this might be Vencil and Lottie Kaloupek, but it doesn't look like Vencil. Compare with the photo on the Chaloupek page.
Three girls holding white gloves.
Some small town. Chelsea?
Two ladies reading a letter.
Two men in a doorway.
Young couple with baby.
Unusual house.
More workers at a blacksmith shop.
Among my parents' belongings, I found a Masonic ring, with inscription SN, or maybe NS. Also a very ornate pocket watch, missing a cover plate.
